How to bake Sooterkins

 

Prickle this demon

borrowed skin

until it peels away

no warning the sharp

taste of a pill

can last for life

how the shapeshiftcrawl

of knife can  leave you
a foetus of bone
somersaulting under

the chum of your body

no one should take

 

Sooterkin

 

away from mama
